★ “This re-imagined version of 'The Brave Little Tailor' will captivate all fantasy readers and others looking for an exciting adventure. . . . The story will remind readers of Shannon Hale's The Goose Girl (Bloomsbury, 2003), but it will stand alone in any collection." ―Library Media Connection, starred review

“It's clever Saville herself who wins the day―and the heart of the nobleman. A charming, satisfying first novel." ―Kirkus

“McGuire crafts a richly detailed cast, and her heroine brings verve to a familiar story.” ―Publishers Weekly  

“The romance is nuanced with a delicate hand. . . . A good choice for those who have finished all of Gail Carson Levine's fairy tale retellings.” ―School Library Journal
